-- Nerf Guns, Cap Guns, BB Guns

-- Rope Swings

hell yeah i had that micromachines base too...crazy how so many of us had the same shit. i was an 80s early 90s kid we had a lot of shit! until we got video games when we were a bit older it was all improvised fun with random shit. when i wasnt making cities with cars and trains...i was having large military battles with my 100s of toy soldiers and gi joes.

yeah, it would have been better if i would have had a brother to beat each other with these instead of dad beating me with him..

i guess it was easier than taking off his belt. lol

Don't worry, we caught plenty of parental beatings too.

My mom could hold a yard stick in each hand and beat two kids at once, she was like a damn ninja, she would change up her beating tools too, keep it interesting, big rubber spatula, butter churn paddle, sometimes she would just claw you in public, grab your arm and sink her nails in deep, yeah, mom was cool like that, lol, but we were wild boys, we earned most of our beatings.

I was lucky enough to be the owner of one of these. Mine was mounted to my Western Flyer two-wheeler. It was the start of many things down the road in my life...
I don't know if kids today can imagine the joy of a kid that got one of these things back in the early 60's

When I was sixteen, I had a 55 Ford and a Hobie Phil Edwards custom surf board. It was the shit. Actually when I was 5 or 6 My Uncle gave my brother and I A toy car that the headlights and tails lights lit up. But you still had to push it, That must have been 1954 or 55. Hell plastic army men were new then.
